I haven&#39;t read anything by this author but I really want to read her novel Pointe very soon if I possibly can. I think I will follow it up with this one because it sounds emotional, and like the author knows how to handle the topics dealing with illness and diversity well.

I love that the parents are supportive and involved. While I&#39;m not much of a YA reader in the ones I&#39;ve read the parents either are completely absent or almost harmful in some way. Glad that&#39;s not the case here.
